It's a novel feature not found on other Android tablets

The editors didn't like
720p display
Cumbersome overlay
Likely expensive
Screen lowres compared to others
Mediocre camera for the price (despite being a tablet)
Lower resolution is noticeable at times
Volume rockers could be more tactile and pronounced
Overpriced
Relatively weak Wi-Fi performance
Sony has filled the interface up with so much pre-loaded software that it looks cluttered before you've even downloaded your first app. Opting for a higher resolution display would help it compete against many of its rivals
Mediocre camera performance
More expensive than rivals
Camera is prone to over-heating
Some additional software is a little clunky
Plastic on the Compact isn't as nice as the metal on the Z3
Light as air (almost), Waterproof, Handbagfriendly size, Brilliant batterylife, Playstation Integration
Extraordinary amount of bloatware, Expensive
Sony’ve brought skinny back. They have squared up with Apple to give their ‘mini’ series real competition. However, turning up at a fight wearing a fat suit is not a good look and the bloat wear that comes packaged with does nothing to help the tablet wi...
The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact isn't as powerful as the Nexus 9 and has a smaller, lower resolution screen, so it's game over, right? Not even close. The Compact is a lot lighter and smaller, has a storage expansion slot, is water- and dust-proof and thanks...
Abstract: Tablets are now such a part of everyday life it's hard to believe the original iPad was launched less than 5 years ago.Since then we've seen tablets in all shapes and sizes, and we've also seen manufacturers looking to secure their own niches in an ever-m...
Abstract: The Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is the Japanese tech giant's latest tablet, but instead of making another 10.1-inch slate like the Z2 Tablet before it, Sony has made a downsized tablet in the same vein as its smaller flagship Z3 Compact. Sony promises i...

Despite that, the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is still a fabulous piece of hardware. The battery life is incredible, the display is super-bright, and performance is excellent. Couple that with a slim, lightweight, water-resistant chassis and you have a ...

Portability, waterproofing, PS4 Remote Play feature (for gamers), plenty of power, lasting battery life
Price is too high, bezels make it feel longer than it needs to be, display resolution could be higher
Sony has made a play for portability with the Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact and there's no denying that's been achieved, in spite of the bezel present at both ends. As a tablet to throw in a bag and take with you on the move, it gets the core design righ...
Screen—good contrast and very bright, Great battery life, Great media player, Excellent allround responsiveness, Active noise reduction (Sony's inear headphones required), Good, understated design / incredibly thin and light, Waterproof, Great front camer
Average main camera, Colours could be slightly improved, as could the screen's responsiveness, Screen border could be smaller, Video Unlimited app should provide betterquality videos given the price
All of Sony's 2014 premium mobile products are great. The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact, despite a few slight faults, has some blinding qualities. The Full HD screen is bright and crisp, responsiveness is excellent, and the added smartphone features make this ...
It's great to see Sony finally make a smaller tablet and the 8in form factor is proving to be increasingly popular. The Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is super thin and light and is waterproof to boot. Hardware is decent but not mind-blowing and while rivals li...
Incredibly lightweight, thin, and portable, Great screen, Decent battery life, Powerful performance, Waterproof, Loaded with connectivity options including 4G LTE
Build quality and finish is lacking, UI overlay is an eyesore
When I originally heard Sony was producing an 8-inch tablet I thought this was going to be the best slate the company had produced so far. I was mightily impressed by Sony's earlier tablet offerings in terms of spec, features, and build quality, but fel...
Sony has taken an incredibly thin shell and packed it full of top spec hardware. The end result is one of the best small Android tablets we've ever used.The tablet introduces a number of innovative features that none of its rivals include, such as its wat...
